EDUCATION
Data Clinics
Data clinics are an interactive collaboration and teaching format designed to bridge theory and practice in the field of data governance and ethics. They bring together partners and practitioners with Masters students from TUM to work together in a structured way on real-world ethical challenges and decision-making processes.
The clinics run as part of the teaching program in the Chair for Philosophy and History of Science and Technology in the School of Social Sciences and Technology at the Technical University of Munich (TUM).
Data Stories
Short videos (approx. 2 minutes) that explore a specific case-study related to data-work and work through various ethical implications. The stories are grounded in real-life situations and research in the philosophy, history, and social studies of science.
Data Ethics Cluster on LabXchange
We are preparing a Data Ethics Cluster in collaboration with LabXchange, to be openly available on LabXchange’s science education platform. “Cluster” is the name for a structured, modular learning programme on the LabXchange platform. It will provide wide-ranging, learning resources on working ethically with data, to help learners explore the consequences and contingencies of each step on a data journey, and to deal with the conflicts that often arise between different values.
LabXchange has global reach, with most users based in majority-world countries, which aligns with EDI’s aim of making data ethics education widely accessible and usable, in order to serve low-resourced environments in particular.
EDI Website
Our website serves an educational purpose, explaining our approach to data ethics and compiling initial resources for students, practitioners, and more.
